(Heh. He’ll be missed, but order of the Lycan just isn’t good enough for pvp. It has basically nothing going for it beyond the very beginning. To easy to get magical weapons to ignore the resistance and silvr weapons to take advantage of vulnerability. Just doesn’t scale like other classes can. A certain Druid for instance...:p. In fairness, I knew when I picked it that it wasn’t going to be great long term, he’s actually stuck around longer than I originally expected/intended)
I was looking at the blood hunter, and I only see a vulnerability to silvered weapons.
(“Advantage of vulnerability” I didn’t mean D&D advantage; just that it’s super easy to buy a silvered weapon for the coliseum and get to do double damage against hybrid form. Basically after the first fight you use it, any future opponent with half a brain will buy a silvered weapon before they fight you. And the ones that don’t will probably have magical weapons to ignore the resistance anyway)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tower:
A swarm of new contestants floods into the Arena, where Basil has a hard time keeping everyone straight. Some of these birds don't even have sensible names...
"MwahaHa!" A raven black feathered figure carrying little more than a pointy stick.
"Kogu!" A wild looking man with lightly tanned dkin and dreadlocks carries a bow, and wears simple leather armor.
"Ebrius!" A half-fiend with only a staff to defend herself.
"Raebite the Frog Warrior!" A canary red birdfolk swoops into the battle carrying a half-spear.
"Wilhelm!" Appears to be an average human with a small bow and a dueling sword, but his true weapon appears to be the lute. He wears simple leather visible under his clothes.
"Runthiel Steel Fist!" A burly dwarf with a sword as long as he is tall.
"Bill Rebuke!" A pale elvish figure with rubbing a crystal as if he were polishing a blade.
"Nimbus of the Storm!" A fish-man holding a faintly glowing orb in one hand.
"Umm... Cultic Chanting!" A figure with dark grey feathers seems almost out of place among this group in studded armor. A cruel whip waits on his belt.
"Sha'kar Menoth!" A man with elvish features carrying a thick tome and a staff.
"I guess armor is out of season."

( AUBIB vs. RRNCK )
The competitors move into their respective starting areas and, after a few moments waiting that seem to stretch on for hours. The gates burst open. The battle begins.

Each space on the grid is 5 ft. × 5 ft. In the example I've placed K at C-2. The proportions can be a bit confusing because the grid appears narrower than it is tall.
There are some campaign specific rulings in the public campaign notes. Most notably initiative is largely ignored between allies.)
With a deep, dark chuckle that sounded as if it should've came from a Goliath, MwahaHA becomes a living, black blur on the battlefield...
For DM/Those that successfully make the perception check:
MwahaHA will Dash to 7J, and try to mantain his stealth there. If he can however make it there WITHOUT dashing, he will Ready his action to throw a Spear at the first enemy caster to step within 20ft of him.
Eldin sends his spiritual weapon after Grianne (Concentration), as he struggles over the wall, and darts for cover. (You don't reach cover, losing ground on the climb.)
(OW, STOP THAT! :P) Dex: 5 (Wait. You said disadvantage? Why disadvantage?)
Calgin lets out a primal roar and his eyes turn red as he goes into a blood rage, slashes out twice at the elemental through the window as he moves to the opposite side, seeking better cover against the infernal druid.
Eldin says, "Vander, I'd like to remind you that you have the effects of Bless active on you. You can roll a d4 to add to saving throws and attack rolls. Not that it would do much with rolls like that."

Eldin climbs the wall between 9E and 10E. Athletics: 27
He then casts Spiritual Weapon at 4G (Next to Grianne) and has it attack. Hit: 15 Dmg: 5
(Also, I wanted to cast the blade at 5H but it looks like there's something already there)
He then dashes to reach... 5A? It looks like there's a space between the coliseum wall and the house. I want Eldin to duck into that space.
With a deep, dark chuckle that sounded as if it should've came from a Goliath, MwahaHA becomes a living, black blur on the battlefield...
MwahaHA will Dash to 7J, and try to mantain his stealth there. If he can however make it there WITHOUT dashing, he will Ready his action to throw a Spear at the first enemy caster to step within 20ft of him.
